Red Pearl snare drum with blue bicycle sticker
I lost my red Pearl snare drum yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street, Santa Barbara, right outside the Santa Barbara Bowl. It’s a 14x5.5 inch snare with a red sparkle finish, black hardware, and it rides in a black soft case. The shell has a small dent near the 6 o'clock position and there’s a bright blue bicycle sticker on the shell near the bottom hoop. It’s sentimental—my grandfather gave it to me, and I’ve used it for gigs since college. If you found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back. Email me at [email protected].
Blue Moleskine notebook with fox sticker
I lost my blue Moleskine notebook yesterday around 6pm. It is a small 5x8 inch notebook, with a blue cover, a white fox sticker on the front, and a faint coffee stain on the back corner. Inside are travel notes and sketches; it is sentimental because I used it on a recent Santa Barbara trip to jot down ideas and memories. I think I left it near the Starbucks on State Street by Paseo Nuevo in Santa Barbara. If anyone found it, I would really appreciate getting it back.
Grey biker-style leather jacket lost at Wildcat Lounge
Hi everyone, tonight around 11 PM my friends and I left three jackets on the couches at Wildcat Lounge in Santa Barbara. When we came back around midnight they were gone. One of them is a kind of grey biker-style leather jacket with silver zippers and a belt (photo attached). It has a lot of sentimental value to me.😭 If anyone picked them up by mistake please message me. I would really appreciate it 🙏
Charcoal gray Patagonia fleece hoodie lost
I was grabbing a latte yesterday around 3pm and think I left my charcoal gray Patagonia fleece hoodie outside the Starbucks on State Street near Paseo Nuevo. It's a medium, with a bright orange zipper pull and a small tear near the left cuff; the pocket has a tiny blue thread snag that makes it easy to spot. The inside tag reads 'Patagonia' and it has my initials 'PK' embroidered on the hem. It really matters to me—it's my go-to jacket and it was a gift from my mom; I'd be grateful to get it back if anyone found it.
Black pebbled wallet with red interior
I lost my black pebbled leather wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on State Street by Paseo Nuevo in Santa Barbara. It's a Michael Kors bi-fold with a copper-toned logo on the front and a bright red fabric lining that peeks out when you open it. Inside there are my driver's license, a couple of credit cards, and about $60 in cash; there's also a coffee ring stain on the back corner and a tiny photo of my dog Lola tucked in the ID window. This wallet has sentimental value to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back.
Blue porcelain vase with gold flecks
I found this decorative porcelain vase this afternoon around 2:15pm, sitting on the stone ledge outside the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, near the main entrance on State Street. It's about 8 inches tall with a cobalt blue glaze and subtle gold flecks, clearly hand-painted. There’s a tiny chip on the rim and a faint signature 'AK 23' etched on the bottom. I figured someone might be missing a piece like this from a studio or sentimental display, so I’m putting it up here in case the owner recognizes it and wants it back. It feels special and I’d be glad to help reunite it with its owner.
Blue North Face backpack with panda sticker
I found a blue North Face backpack this afternoon around 2:30pm behind the Trader Joe's on State Street, near Paseo Nuevo in Santa Barbara. It's a medium-sized pack in decent condition with a lime-green zipper pull on the main compartment and a small panda sticker on the front pocket. Inside there’s a spiral notebook, a green highlighter, and a USB-C cable sticking out of the side pocket; the bag feels well-used but sturdy, with a light scuff on the bottom corner. I’d love to get it back to its owner—if this is yours, we can meet up downtown to sort it out.
Found bright green cockatiel with yellow crest
I found this bright green cockatiel with a yellow crest this afternoon around 2:30pm near the Santa Barbara Public Library on Anacapa Street. It has distinctive orange patches on the cheeks and blue-tinted tail feathers. It seems healthy and fairly social, letting me approach and perch on a finger for a moment. There's no sign of a cage nearby, and it looks well cared for. If you're the owner, send a quick note here with a description of the bird, and we can arrange a safe meetup in a public spot to return it.
Blue ceramic wall vase with koi motif
I found this blue ceramic wall vase with a koi motif this afternoon around 2:45 pm in the alley behind the Granada Theatre on State Street, Santa Barbara. It's about 8 inches tall and 6 inches wide, with a glossy cobalt glaze and a tiny glaze nick along the rim. The bottom bears a small hand-painted signature, 'K. Rivera', and there’s a faint fingerprint smudge from handling. It looks like it might be a handmade piece from a local artist and seems relatively new, no cracks. If this belongs to someone, I’m hoping to help you get it back.
Red compact umbrella with white star sticker
I found a red compact umbrella this afternoon around 2:15pm outside Trader Joe's on State Street in Santa Barbara. It's a small, collapsible umbrella with a black handle and a bright red canopy that’s in decent condition, though the tip is a tad worn. There’s a tiny white star sticker on the canopy and a faint coffee ring on the fabric from yesterday—easy to spot among other items. I’d love to get it back to its rightful owner; if you recognize those details, drop me a message here and we can arrange a quick pickup.
